Marie Ferdon, Patrick's wife, is also a native of San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood; she, Patrick, and their four sons all reside in her family's original home. It's that very sense of a close-knit community which sparked her interest in real estate more than 10 years ago. Before that, Marie established Relocation Remedy, Inc., a corporate relocation company that provided services to an eclectic mix of renters and buyers from the technology, banking, and consulting industries.
